Our top priority must be "residents first"..... not the interests of out-of-town developers or vacation homeowners. I would ensure that over-development and traffic gridlock will not adversely affect the treasured quality of life we have developed here over the last 150 years. I will vote to keep our fiscal house in order. Healdsburg faces increasing challenges during the next several years and I want to be instrumental in successfully meeting these challenges.

Independent Pension Reform, increased attention to Transportation Issues, and the build-out of the areas surrounding the Plaza are key to a successful future Healdsburg. Some special interests and those with conflicting goals will try to influence this election.

My wife, Anne, and I are 15+ year residents and business owners in Healdsburg. Our children graduated from St. John elementary school. We support the Boys and Girls Club, Live Oak School, local children's sports, the Healdsburg Museum and Healdsburg schools.

I have run a winery business in Healdsburg for the past 13 years. I hold a graduate business degree in Finance and Transportation Administration from Northwestern University.

I also spent over 20 years as a Pension and Benefit plan professional. Vote for me and you'll get a voice of determined leadership & fiscal responsibility.
